Class ResourceXMLParser

java.lang.Object
  com.dtolabs.shared.resources.ResourceXMLParser

public class ResourceXMLParser
extends java.lang.Object

ResourceXMLParser parses a resources.xml formatted file, and provides several interfaces for using the result data.

The parse() method parses the configured File as a sequence of ResourceXMLParser.Entity objects, one for each entry in the file. It passes these objects to any configured ResourceXMLReceiver object. One should be set using setReceiver(ResourceXMLReceiver) to receive parsed entities or the entire entity set.

The default entityXpath property value is set to match all entity types in the resource xml (node|setting|package|deployment), but this can be set to any Xpath to limit the entities that are parsed from the document. (e.g. "node|package" or "node[@name='mynode']"). See #setEntityXpath(String).

reportNodeErrorLocation

protected static java.lang.String reportNodeErrorLocation(org.dom4j.Node e)

Return a String describing the DOM node's location and parent type name

Parameters:

e - the node

Returns:

string describing xpath location and parent "type" element name

getReceiver

public ResourceXMLReceiver getReceiver()

Return the ResourceXMLReceiver

Returns:

the ResourceXMLReceiver

setReceiver

public void setReceiver(ResourceXMLReceiver receiver)

Set the ResourceXMLReceiver to use. It will be invoked to receive the ResourceXMLParser.Entity objects created during the parse() method, and will also receive the complete ResourceXMLParser.EntitySet at the end of the sequence. It can govern whether parsing should continue or not, see ResourceXMLReceiver

Parameters:

receiver - the new ResourceXMLReceiver
